Keep your Victor equipment running at peak performance with the Victor 1406-0172 Curved Washer. Also known by the part number U312-0130-S, this essential replacement part is designed specifically for Victor gas apparatus. In the world of precision welding and cutting, the integrity of your equipment relies on the quality of its individual components. This washer features a specialized curved profile that acts to maintain tension on fasteners, compensating for the inevitable vibration and movement that occurs during industrial use. This locking action is crucial for preventing the loosening of critical assemblies within torches or regulators.

Why Choose OEM Parts?

When repairing Victor equipment, there is no substitute for genuine Victor parts. The 1406-0172 washer is manufactured to strict tolerances that generic hardware store washers cannot match. The curvature is calibrated to provide the exact amount of spring force required without damaging mating surfaces. Furthermore, the use of Stainless Steel provides superior resistance to rust and corrosion compared to standard carbon steel. This is particularly important in oxy-fuel applications where cleanliness and material integrity are safety issues. By choosing this OEM washer, you are ensuring that your repair meets the original factory specifications.

Application and Durability

This washer is suitable for various applications within the Victor product line where a U312-0130-S part is specified. Its stainless steel construction makes it an ideal choice for environments where humidity or corrosive elements are present. Over time, spring washers can lose their elasticity or become permanently compressed. Replacing them during service intervals ensures that your equipment remains tight and leak-free. Don't compromise on safety or performance; invest in the correct hardware for your tools. This washer represents a small investment in the reliability and longevity of your professional welding equipment.
